Re: Epping Sighting

This has to be the most hi-jacked message posting I have ever seen. Rod
Gayford asked about SA gondolas passing through Epping NSW (I mean Mark Bau,
I know Victorians think Melbourne is the capital of Australia and that all
suburbs talked about refer to suburbs in Melbourne, but it's just not the

Maybe the question that needs to be asked is what is that maximum number of
postings against a message that have had no relevance to the original
posting????? :-)
